What is the UAE Golden Visa?

The UAE Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable residence visa that gives you the right to live, work, and invest in the UAE without a local sponsor. There are no minimum stay requirements and you get unlimited entries - it's the most flexible long-term residency option the UAE offers.

How long does the Golden Visa process take?

Once you meet the qualification criteria and your application is submitted, GenZone typically secures your Golden Visa within 10-15 days. We manage all authority coordination, so there are no delays from your side chasing paperwork.

What are the qualification requirements?

There are three main qualification pathways: property investment of AED 2M or more (off-plan or ready), bank deposit of AED 2M held for a minimum of two years, or employment with a monthly salary of AED 30,000 or above. During your consultation, GenZone will identify which pathway best suits your situation and walk you through the exact documentation required for each.

Can I use a mortgage to qualify through the property route?

Yes. Mortgaged properties are eligible, provided at least 50% of the property value has been paid and you obtain a no-objection letter from your bank. GenZone will advise on the documentation needed and coordinate directly with the relevant authorities on your behalf.

Can I sponsor my family on a Golden Visa?

Yes - the Golden Visa is one of the most family-friendly residency options in the UAE. You can sponsor your spouse, children of any age, and an unlimited number of domestic workers. GenZone handles the full family sponsorship process as part of the service.

Do I need to stay in the UAE to keep my Golden Visa?

No. Unlike standard UAE residency visas, the Golden Visa has no minimum stay requirement. You can spend extended periods outside the UAE without any risk of your visa lapsing - it's designed for globally mobile individuals and investors.

What if I own multiple properties - can I combine them?

Yes. Multiple UAE properties can be combined to reach the AED 2M threshold required for Golden Visa eligibility. GenZone will review your portfolio and confirm which properties are eligible and how to structure the application correctly.

What's included in GenZone's Golden Visa service?

We manage the complete end-to-end process: full consultation and pathway selection, documentation preparation and review, application submission and authority coordination, medical, biometrics, and Emirates ID processing, and family sponsorship for spouse, children, and domestic workers. You focus on your move - we handle everything else.
